A Novel Escape Bookstore

Wonderful selection of new and used books, lots of comfy reading nooks, a large children’s section, friendly welcoming staff, and best of all, Brody the shop dog! What more could a girl ask for?

It’s a very charming book store. Old and new books available. There are little nooks to sit and read. Staff seemed friendly.

I have to admit. I stopped in because I saw the dog 🤫 but super cute bookstore. Loved all the little nooks to read and the cute space for children.

Perfectly Delightful! I walked into this bookstore on a rainy afternoon during our vacation to Franklin, North Carolina. What a charming spot. Full of new and used books to peruse, the wooden floors and cozy environment made me wish I had hours to spend. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcomed me. Definitely the kind of hometown bookstore I love to purchase my books from.

If you can’t find the perfect book at this bookstore you just haven’t looked hard enough and if you still can’t find it Liz will order it for you. A great bookstore! Oh and be sure to say hi to Brody!

Wonderful local bookstore with good staff picks and attention to detail with book displays. I can always find good books to when I visit, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t think I’ve ever left empty-handed. So glad to have them on Main Street!

Such a cute and great book shop! Everyone working was so lovely and welcoming. The kids area is what every book store should have. They even had a little scavenger hunt where the kids get a little prize afterwards. We could have spent all day here. Can’t wait to visit again!

My family and I visited A Novel Escape while we were vacationing in the area, and I highly recommend it! Their selection is great, and both of my kids really enjoyed the coloring station and the puzzle station. We bought much more than we planned, and I have no regrets. :-) I found children's books for homeschooling that I had never seen before, and I'm very excited to dig into them with the kids. Thanks so much for a great experience!

This is a great bookstore. They have a great selection of book for everyone. Adults and children alike.

Even the "kid" behind the counter was amazing... On my 2nd visit, I walked in looking for an obscure book and the girl literally walked from behind the counter to the book on the shelf.

I'm a fan.

Great place.

Great selection of both new and used books.

The new location is wonderful. A most pleasant place to browse and a huge, well organized selection of books to chose from. If Liz doesn't have the book you're looking for, she will get it, and at a great price.

Absolutely adorable. I was visiting from out of town and she immediately picked up on it. She was so nice and helpful. She got up from her seat to help me find a book that could be in three different places. Definitely recommend. There were clear labels and sections along with many options.

This experience was much better than the last one, I apparently caught them on a crazy day the last time. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, I felt welcome the entire time I was there. If you're looking for a book I highly recommend checking here first. I am a firm believer in shoping local before you shop the internet.

Great atmosphere for browsing and looking for new books to read.
Recently the owner ordered a special shipment for me and I was happy with the service!

Great shop. Bot $125 worth of used books, great value.
They are moving to 46 e. Main St, Franklin, NC in a few weeks, taking over a bookstore location where the owner is retiring. Supposed to reopen mid June.

My wife really likes books. She read all the time. We were visiting Franklin NC and saw the store off the side of the highway. My wife was looking for a certain book so we stopped. The owner, I assume is Millie, was extremely helpful. My wife found most of the books she was looking for. Great little store.

We were greeted by the sweetest dog (Brody) and had an amazing experience in this store!

Great book store! Millie is always helpful, if I can't find what I'm looking for she will try to find, order and hold my books. Very good prices and I like that some series are bundled. Always a friendly face and always helpful. Repeat customer.

Lovely shop. It's one of my favorite places to spend a happy hour or two! Brody the dog greets everyone at the door, and Liz the owner is delightful.
